This could be a double definition.

'pay one's debt' is the first definition.
'discharge' can be an answer for 'pay' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'one's debt' bit.

'set free' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discharge that I've seen before include "let go" , "cashier" , "Send away - perform" , "unload" , "Sack or fire weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
